There is nothing that pleases a futurist more than to see their predictions come to fruition a few years after making them. In our case, the predictions we made a few years back (2009-2010) are becoming reality one after the other. This article about a new functionality at Apple Stores presents it well. In our article Predictions: How life will change in 2020, we mentioned that walking through a store, you would start receiving advertising based on the products around you. Apple plans on doing exactly the same thing, offering you to buy new accessories for your iPhone as you get closer to that section of the store for example. In our other article, A day in 2050, we also mentioned that walking in any store, you would be greeted by a virtual assistant mentioning all the specials in the store that are relevant to you that day. Again, this is something Apple will be using their new technology for, offering customers tailored advertisements and promotions as they walk in the store. This is the beginning of very interesting changes for retail stores! You can read the full article about the Apple news here.
